Marathon

YOUR 100% URBAN COURSE!

Join us on Sunday 26 October 2025 at 9am on the Mail François Mitterand for the start of the Rennes Marathon!

 

Once again this year, the legendary Marathon distance will take place on a 100% urban course in the city of Rennes. The start of the 42.195km race will be on the Mail François Mitterrand and, as every year, the finish will be on the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle. Male and female runners will be setting off on a very fast course, ideal for first-time marathon runners and record-breakers! There will be plenty of new features and entertainment along the way.

 

42 KM RUN AT YOUR OWN PACE = 42 TREES PLANTED!


With all the races in the Marathon Vert Rennes School of Business, we're running for the planet! Every km you walk or run will help plant 1 tree with the Yves Rocher Foundation. Thanks to your participation in the Marathon's Race, you will accumulate 42 pant trees.

Reminder: Scratch time: official time taken at the gun shot - Run time: actual race time. The stopwatch starts when you cross the line. You start your stopwatch when you cross the start line.
